This past weekend, I updated my personal portfolio website, karaleeserra.com, to become a portal for the major projects that I’m working on. I pretty much wanted to be able to send Mom and Dad, my biggest fans, to one place to access my work. It’s much easier and less confusing to say go to www.karaleeserra.com to find my blogs, portfolio and jewelry instead of listing out all my urls. And, I really wanted to figure out how to implement blog RSS feeds directly into an html page. Very exciting and very dorky!

So, I’m finally putting this out there to the world. I launched another blog called, myboyfrienddatedachef.com. It was initially created because the boy’s ex was a chef. He made reference to this very very few times…like twice, if that. Anyway, being a girl, it stuck. Since my cooking skills were limited to the basic boring recipes involving chicken, steak and pasta, I figured I needed to step up my game. The other reason is to document my favorite recipes and the little tips and tricks that I learn along the way so I don’t forget them!
Over the past year and a half, I have found, developed and adapted some great recipes. Myboyfrienddatedachef.com is a combination of those I have tried and will try. Some will be shortcuts. Yes, I think shortcuts are allowed. Some dishes I can make in less than 10 minutes doctoring up a jar of sauce with some store bought ravies and they are so good. Others can take anywhere from 2-3 hours to prepare. I’ll share them all. Take what you want, leave what you don’t. Happy cooking!
